Question #3 Report Error
A train passes a platform 110 meters long in 40 seconds and a boy standing on the platform in 30 seconds. Find the length of the train.
A. 400 meters
B. 330 meters
C. 350 meters
D. 300 meters

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Let length of train be L. Speed = L/30. Also, Speed = (L+110)/40. So L/30 = (L+110)/40 => 4L = 3L + 330 => L = 330 meters.
